Padres tie series as Machado, Tatis power win

San Diego defeated Atlanta 8-3 to even the four-game series at 1-1. Manny Machado hit two homers, and Fernando Tatis Jr. belted a 474-foot homer, the longest of the season in the majors. Tatis's homer came in the eighth to seal the win, following Jackson Merrill's earlier homer and a multi-homer night for Machado, who is nearing a historic mark for a third baseman. The Padres' offense showed an resurgence despite a generally inconsistent season, and the win keeps their postseason hopes flickering as they head into the second half. Pitching was effectively supported by Walker Buehler, who contributed earlier in the game.
